Pros

I can't say enough positive things about the people I worked with. My Direct Manager was one of the best I have ever worked for. The team I worked with was great and the reason I kept going back every day. If I could have stayed based solely off this, I would have never left. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

Cons

Where to start? HR. Unorganized, unprofessional and a complete joke. Human Resources should be advocates for employees, but instead it feels like they are only there to nitpick and uphold senseless company policies that cause friction amongst team members, tension within departments and frustration overall. Introducing new policies like taking lap tops away from employees who have had them for years, and forcing them to go to desktops. When employees who have had the luxury of working from home no longer have that option, it causes a lot of issues. Policies like policies that weren't policies until you apparently broke that policy and were given a write up for breaking that policy. Exhausting! Sales Leaders with egos that enter a room before they do. How many Vice Presidents does one company need?! Sales people who don't know what they are selling and refuse to admit mistakes, yet expect everyone internally to recreate and reinvent processes to fit their mistakes...the internal people are having fingers pointed at them, "WHY ISN'T THIS RIGHT?!" It's like the Twilight Zone, Groundhog Day. Over and over again. No accountability. No direction. Worst excuse of sales "leadership" I've ever seen in my career! There are a select FEW, and by "few", I mean 4...that are worth anything! The rest? Absolute jokes. If you want to work for a company that pays their internal people less than market and less than what they deserve, to be glorified "babysitters", then this job is for you! If you want to have your creativity stifled and constantly be questioned, then this job is for you! If you're okay with being a hamster in a wheel, or a monkey in a Circus...GO FOR IT! It wasn't for me.

Pros

Job security. People are generally great.

Cons

Job security was high because of so much turnover they couldn't let you go. Less leadership, more reactive management styles. too much red tape to get prospects through to close. Internal teams can hold up customer movements to close. Hourly pay.
